Whoa it looks like a Desert Eagle with a six-shooter's barrel.! !

I'm not sure that cylinder can withstand the pressure developed by those rounds... not for long anyway. Those almost look like rifle rounds or big handgun rounds (but with much sharper bullet profile)... something like a .45-70 rifle or a .460 S&W Magnum (assuming that this is a large gun, of course). Those are both high powered rounds with a lot of 'bang' in them... the .460 S&W is specifically a revolver round, often used for long-range hunting, usually scoped... which would be perfect for a big powerful futuristic revolver like this one.

Problem is, the thin walls of the the cylinder as you show it... they're gonna burst from all that pressure hitting them over and over again as the gun is fired time after time. Iron and most of its alloys can take repeated (small) stresses without weakening... but they're not nearly as strong enough to take the punishment those rounds would dish out... not at the 2mm thickness you show here (once again, assuming these rounds are .460, the the side wall of the cylinder appears to be 1/5th as thick as the round's diameter... it get worse if these are smaller rounds). Now, the cylinder could be made of metals other than iron alloys... but no other metal has iron's capacity to 'spring back' from constant small stresses (that's why we use iron for everything)... while something like a titanium alloy could better withstand the pressure and stress of any given firing... it will eventually succumb to metal fatigue, and fail. It's just a reality of materials science.

Check out this image of a S&W .460 revolver's cylinder ... the differences are subtle at first glance, but vital to the proper function of the gun. The outer walls of the cylinder are half-again thicker than what you show here (about 3mm), but what's really important is the side walls are more than twice as thick as what you show... mostly because you've shoe-horned 8 rounds into the thing. There's a reason why S&W stopped at five rounds... you try to fit in even 1 more round (for the traditional 6-shooter) and the cylinder walls are too thin and the thing blows apart one day while you're shooting it.

On the other hand, if it's a "future gun" you can model it however you like, and say "it's made of magic non-breakable materials".

This is pretty interesting, I like the streamlined design. It seems much too thin however. Very cool, Nice job, good render, nice materials and presentation.
